[cfaussie] Passing Javascript variables to CF

[George Lu]

Hi,   I'd like to search duplicates in the database before submit the form. The question is how can I pass _javascript_ variables to a SQL query. CF complaints (variable y is not defined) if I use it directly:     y = document.AddNewItem;   // search existing items in whole database   <CFQUERY NAME="qSearchDuplicates" DATASOURCE="#request.app.dsn#" BLOCKFACTOR="100">    SELECT HardwareAddr,IPAddr,SERIALNUMBER,ASSETNUMBER    FROM  tblPrinter_inventory    WHERE      <CFIF y.ASSETNUMBER.value IS NOT "">       AND (tblPrinter_inventory.ASSETNUMBER = 'y.ASSETNUMBER.value')      </CFIF>      <CFIF y.HardwareAddr.value IS NOT "">       AND (tblPrinter_inventory.HardwareAddr = 'y.HardwareAddr.value')      </CFIF>      <CFIF y.IPAddr.value IS NOT "">       AND (tblPrinter_inventory.IPAddr = 'y.IPAddr.value')      </CFIF>      <CFIF y.SERIALNUMBER.value IS NOT "">       AND (tblPrinter_inventory.SERIALNUMBER = 'y.SERIALNUMBER.value')      </CFIF>   </CFQUERY>       if (qSearchDuplicates.recordcount == 0) {    y.submit();    }   else {    alert("Printer with the same either Hardware or IP Address, Serial or Asset number already exists in the Inventory database.\n\nPlease check the details and try again.");    return false   }   Thanks, George --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004 AMES (Adult Multicultural Education Services) www.ames.net.au Disclaimer ********************************************************************** This email and any attachments may be confidential.
